About this product

Product Information

The computer has revolutionised the modern age of communication and information. It has touched every part of modern working life to the extent that it would now be inconceivable without it. It has increased the speed and power of complex calculations and is without a doubt one of the Twentieth Century's greatest achievements. However, most of us, even those who use a computer, don't know how a computer really works. And haw many of us heard of Alan Turing, the man who was a major figure in the development of the computer? The man who helped to break the Enigma codes during Second World War, but who was largely forgotten after his death. TURING AND THE COMPUTER presents a brilliant snapshot of Turing's life and work, together with their historical and scientific context, and gives a clear and accessible explanation of the importance and meaning of the computer, and the way it has changed and shaped our lives in the twentieth century.
